Have you been on the hunt for your next new “sad girl” indie singer that brings you to your knees?
Samantha Grimes is that artist. Listening to her has us reminiscing on the great Alanis Morissette. Her delivery and sound are very unique to her artistry, while still maintaining that similar quality we look for in artists within her genre.
While in your listening experience of Grimes album, you’ll find this angst and soul in “Make Up My Mind” that caught us by surprise. Her ad-libs and structure throughout this song, in particular, stood out. The way her vocals stood on display was moving and captivating.
“Happy Birthday” was such a delicate and beautifully written ballad as well. You can hear the story being unfolded as the song progresses and the emotional toll behind said heartbreak. One of the highlights is Grimes lyricism, being clever and meticulously conceptualized.
“Stripped” is the perfect name for an album that contains raw depth, familiar storytelling that listeners can easily relate to, and glorious melodies.
